It's an often-told but still charming story: on the site of this legendary restaurant, Jean-Baptiste Coco (a colourful local importer of wine and, among other things, sea sponges) made his home in the 1930s, and became famous for the simple meals of grilled fish and rosé with which he would greet friends and visitors. These days, the restaurant bears only the name of M Coco, but endeavours to retain some of his Pagnolesque charm. The menu is a seafood feast, with the day's catch sold by the 100g and grilled with a minimum of fuss and a maximum of flavour. The terrace has a charming beach cabin aesthetic and perches right on the edge of the water offering views of the Baie des Anges that are ridiculously beautiful.
